As a young adult Trammell was a competitive member of the church league softball team. He assisted building many home ramps through his mission work at First Methodist Church and he was still an active member of the Dalton Rotary Club.

Trinity United Methodist Church was his church home for many years, and for the last twenty-four years he was an active member of Dalton First United Methodist Church. Trammell served both churches generously with his time and his talents. After his marriage to Annelle, First Presbyterian Church welcomed him as an associate member. People who knew him well referred to him as a “Methoterian”.
